Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. Wang Zhi also came to the educated youth site. When Yao Ling saw Wang Zhi, she froze. She came to her senses and pulled Jiang Yue's arm, signaling her to leave quickly with her eyes. Jiang Yue nodded to show that she understood what she meant, and found an excuse to go home to heat the kang and leave.

Zhang Wei and Wang Liang stayed because they were interested in army life. Yao Ling seemed relieved after they were some distance away from the Youth League Institute. Jiang Yue did not ask her the reason. After returning home, Yao Ling made up her mind not to go out until this man left, as he could not stay for a few days anyway.

Jiang Yue picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. While drinking, he thought about how he could make some tea someday. Drinking water alone was tasteless. After a break, he and Yao Ling cleaned up the southeast corner. They planned to build a chicken coop here this year. After cleaning up a little, they went back to the house. Because the weather was too cold after the sun went down, they had to do it a little bit at a time.

It was almost time to cook. The two boys had not come back yet, so Jiang Yue and Yao Ling cut the vegetables first and waited for them to come back and cook them. They chatted for a while while waiting. Not long after, Wang Liang and Zhang Wei came back. While Jiang Yue was cooking, they kept chattering to Jiang Yue and Yao Ling about interesting things in the army. It was a pity that the two were not very interested in it.

On the fifth day of the New Year, Wang Zhi finally left. Yao Ling obviously relaxed and started going out to visit friends and relatives. People who often visited her asked her if she was sick. They hadn't gone out for several days and no one had seen her. Yao Ling just laughed it off and said nothing. She couldn't tell anyone about this.

The good days did not last for a few days. Liu Xiaoyi came just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Yao Ling and Jiang Yue both became serious. This time, due to Jiang Yue's intervention, Yao Ling and Wang Zhi did not have any intersection, so the butterfly effect occurred afterwards. Liu Xiaoyi found out that the two of them did not know each other, and for some reason did not continue to frame Yao Ling.

They left after staying here for a short while. Only after they left did Yao Ling completely let go of the matter. After that, the two of them had nothing to do with Yao Ling anymore. After avoiding this matter, their days became dull.

In April, there were fifteen more chicks at home. I would dig some wild vegetables during my breaks from work. I would eat the tender ones and cut the old ones to feed the chickens. It was really tiring to work. The fields here were all long ridges. I would only walk halfway through them from morning to noon. After a rest for lunch, I would have to find my own ridge in the afternoon to continue working. My back and waist would ache at the end of the day.

As the diet was planned early, everyone made up for it a month before starting work. After starting work, Jiang Yue insisted on eating three meals a day, and with Puppet as a dealer, they had enough oil and water, and they could even eat meat once a month or so, so it was not difficult to stick to it. Although he lost a little weight after the autumn harvest, he was much better than others.

The private plots allocated to the four people in the team had a good harvest. This year, they no longer had to buy cabbage and shepherd's purse from others. Wang Liang bought a lot of empty cans through the puppet, and Jiang Yue made a lot of canned tomatoes, so they could have more vegetables this winter.

A lot of dried eggplants and shredded beans were also dried. These days, Xiaohu's mother took Jiang Yue and the others to pick mushrooms. The four of them have been learning to recognize mushrooms at Xiaohu's house these days. Before leaving, Xiaohu's mother also said that it is best to let them look at them before putting them away at the beginning, otherwise they will die from eating poisonous mushrooms.

Jiang Yue and the others were not stubborn. Although Jiang Yue knew it, it would be better for her to show it next year. In this way, others would only say that she was smart and learned quickly. After running in the mountains for two months, the four of them were very diligent and accumulated a lot of mountain products.

These mountain products were divided into three parts. First, each person got some, which were for everyone to send back home. Their families had subsidized them all year round, and now they had the ability to give back. Second, they were sold for food. Everyone benefited this year. If it weren't for the large reserves of food, how could they have three meals a day?

The last part is kept for our own consumption. We can also add some other dishes to it at other times to change the taste when we get tired of cabbage and potatoes. In addition to mushrooms, hazelnuts, and black fungus, we also caught a lot of rabbits and pheasants this year. Everyone sent some back home. It’s not much, but it’s a thoughtful gesture.

Before the weather gets cold, they plan to repair the wall. The exterior wall has become uneven due to the rain in the summer, so they get some soil and cut some grass to make mud. After pasting the mud on the wall, they use a wooden trowel to smooth it out. This way it will look better. Jiang Yue also paid special attention to the place where the windows were leaking last year.

Someone was hired to repair the leaks in the house when it rained. After the renovation, Jiang Yue looked at the house and made a decision. Next year, he would find some ginseng or something and exchange it for money to renovate the house. After repairing the house he lived in, he built an ear room next to it. This ear room was very simple and was enough to be used as a storage room.

Anyone who has lived in a house knows that the longer you live there, the more things you have. Jiang Yue and her friends were no exception. Before they knew it, they had no more space for their things, so they had to build an ear room where they could put the sundries that they didn’t use on a daily basis.

The pickled cabbage and prepared tomato sauce were all placed here. In addition, several people also repaired the vegetable cellar, and this year they stored a lot more vegetables than last year.

After finishing their work, they started to weave straw curtains. They could cover the windows on the coldest days. It was like that in the north. As long as the wind was blowing, they could keep warm by blocking the wind. They were busy until November. It was foreseeable that Jiang Yue and her friends would have a much better winter this year.

At this time every year, some educated youth would try every means to go home. Jiang Yue accompanied the three of them to find the team leader. They didn't hold out much hope when they went there, because they had only arrived at the end of last year and this year was only one year, so everyone was prepared for not being able to take leave.

What I didn't expect was that the team leader directly issued a certificate, but I had to pay for my own transportation home and rush back after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I also had to bring my own food when I went home because there was no rationing in the city, otherwise I would have to buy expensive food.

The captain also said when he issued the certificate that because the four of them had performed very well this year, he didn't want to be the bad guy. Anyway, if you go back, we are not afraid that you won't come back. If your family is really capable, they would have sent you back long ago. Otherwise, if you don't come back, you have nowhere to go in the city, and the street office there will also urge you to come back. (Looking up the information, some say you can go back every year, some say once every two years, some say once every four years, and some say you can't go home during the GM Spring Festival. It seems that farms, forest farms, military units, and settled households are different. Let's just assume that it's okay. It doesn't affect the overall situation anyway.)

When issuing the certificate, the team leader wanted to issue one for Jiang Yue, but Jiang Yue refused. She thought it would be better to stay here than to go home. Yao Ling knew her family situation and wanted her to go back with her, but Jiang Yue refused. Why would she go there when her family is celebrating the New Year?
